  1. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    FlyingScot replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Have you straight up asked them what they mean by it or are you just going by your

  2. "My Tech" or "My Aide"

    FlyingScot replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I think most people who use the phrase "my tech" or "my aide" mean it in a team sense. Not in a personal servant sense. As in "my team mate". I have techs who have referred to me and about me as "my...

  3. 8 hr Night Shifts

    FlyingScot replied to NICUnurse21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've worked various shifts throughout my career. I have been working 8's for the last two years (albeit on day shift). I have never felt more human as I do now. Maybe it's my age but the longer shifts...

  4. Dosage calculation

    FlyingScot replied to iryna1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great job! And I totally agree, YOU did this. You should be proud of yourself! This is why we don't spoon feed answers. Otherwise you wouldn't learn anything and you certainly wouldn't have the...

  6. Dosage calculation

    FlyingScot replied to iryna1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I highly doubt you are being tested on material that you have not covered in class or have reading assignments for. As it stands there are several conversions you need to do to answer this question....

  8. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    FlyingScot replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    But that isn't even close to what the OP said. The OP was very clear that he was talking about BSN/ADN trained nurses claiming that their training is equivalent to medical training. And seriously, I...

  9. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    FlyingScot replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes but you have to admit this is fun. Plus he didn't even it do it very well. He's not exactly getting what he had hoped for.

  10. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    FlyingScot replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Buehler? Buehler? Sorry to quote myself. Bad etiquette, I

  11. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    FlyingScot replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Back-pedaling much? You didn't ask for opinions. You made a seriously inaccurate accusation from your personal soap box. You aren't going to get a rise out of us because what you think us "militant"...

  12. Nursing School Vs Med School, no comparison

    FlyingScot replied to MedStudentNotRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Please link the posts that outright state anywhere that any nurse on this forum has said that a BSN is equivalent to medical

  13. What is the worst case of bullying you've seen in your nursing career?

    FlyingScot replied to Guest878640's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So sure, in this example maybe she was jealous. I never said it doesn't happen. Your co-worker clearly has a self-esteem issue with her weight. However the post that I quoted gave a long list of why...

  14. Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

    FlyingScot replied to NurseCalif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It means that you did the trick too early. Your first round of scoring was a "did not pass". You might have been close enough that on the second scoring it will turn to a "pass". So you have either...

  15. question about surfactant.

    FlyingScot replied to hyhero89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Think of it this way. If you blow up a balloon and then let the air out how easy is it to re-inflate? Not very easy because the balloon sticks together and you have to blow harder to achieve...

    FlyingScot replied to BonnieSc's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    FlyingScot replied to addylpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nope, you get what you get and do what you have to to make it work. It can be sucky sometimes but that's the way it

  21. Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

    FlyingScot replied to NurseCalif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Maybe you did or maybe you just donated $200 to Pearson Vue. Why oh why did you try it before 24 hours after you tested? I'm sure you've read the hundreds (thousands?) of posts that tell you to wait...

    FlyingScot replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I believe one of the requirements is to be accused, at least once, of NETY in a post. I think that may be substituted with an allegation that you are just jealous because the poster is young and...
